I have been using MySql Workbench to connect to a local MySql server and to remote MySql Servers. The last couple of days the Workbench freezes when I connect to the local version. It still works for the remote servers.
I am using workbench 6.3.4 and then tried 6.2.5 just to see if it is a version issue.
I also can access the local MySql instance using HeidiSQL.
Any recommendations on what to look for?
Update
The advice to recreate the connection solved the issue. I just created a new one and it works fine.
A couple of things you can try:
Try restarting the sql server (remember, workbench is just a utility for accessing a db, it does not host the database for you)
See if you can access mysql on the command prompt / terminal, the command for mac & windows
(once you navigate to the mysql folder, try the command:)
mysql -u root
(if you have a password-protected account, the command will be
mysql -u someuser -p
If the above doesn't work, mysql is either offline or denying you access (depending on response), and you'll need to setup the server / assign privileges.
If all else fails, it may help to try another version of SQL / Workbench (for a easy-to-use sql sever setup, I'd recommend WAMP or MAMP, assuming you want a HTTP server bundled with it)
Additionally, it may help to recreate the local connection in workbench (of if your getting regular crashes, reinstall & update workbench). Good luck with it.

How do I install MySQL Workbench properly? Can't connect to the SQLTools extension in VSCode.I'm new to the database scene, and can't seem to grasp how to create a successful SQL server that I can use to manipulate data. But nothing I'm doing seems to work.
Should I use Gitbash to access the terminal? I tried using my password to make a new query but it wouldn't work on the workbench. I don't know how to start the SQL server in addition to not knowing how to properly change the profile for the Workbench from a previous account. A new developer, such as myself, would appreciate any insight!
So that's really simple just install the mysql community server installer using this link https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Make sure to select the server only in the setup during installation if you are going to be using VS code as the client to manipulate sql queries
Then once that is done copy the bin path location from the mysql file directory (which is usually in the program files on your \C: drive on your computer) to the environment variables on your computer so that you can access mysql from the command line
Once that is done you can initialise a database from the normal command line but first type mysql -u root -p to start mysql in the command line
Then download the sql tools extension on vs code and create the database that wish
I am on Windows 7 32-bit.
I have a .SQL file database backup/dump from our relational database software/server. I need to run this locally, as our relational database is going to the cloud where ODBC connections, etc won't be permitted at first. I use this MySQL database for reporting and so I still need to connect it to Crystal Reports, but locally. I have a daily .SQL backup file I can download from an FTP site to keep it up to date.
I am attempting a local MySQL database instance now, no server just a local database that I can query from in Crystal Reports. But I am having issues.
How do I:
1. Successfully Run a local instance of MySQL on my computer.
2. Connect the instance to Crystal Reports via MySQL driver setup.
3. Perform a import + restore to bring the database copy into the live instance.
download MySQL installer here:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
And then I downloaded MySql WorkBench.
At workbench's connection configuration I put hostname as "127.0.0.1" ( I also attempted "localhost"), port "3306", user: "root", password is empty.
I click "test connection" and it gives me this error:
"Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061)"
What am I missing?
Based on your posted instructions that you followed, I didn't see any mention of mysql itself being installed.
The MySQL workbench is not the actual server, but a suite of tools use to help manage it.
In the installer for MySQL you should see an option for an instance of mysql or some verbiage to that effect, if not "MySQL Server". That is what you also need to install.
How can we view the databases/tables created in phpmyadmin in the MySQL workbench schemas section? In my case the database created in the phpmyadmin are not reflected in workbench(v-6.3) and mysql server v-5.7.12.How can I check that the phpmyadmin used is reflecting the correct workbench.
I am running the phpmyadmin locally (XAMPP 5.6.20-0) and I am using Mac OS X El-capitan. Is the import only option copy all databases/tables created in phpmyadmin into MySQL and visa versa?Please advice
As long as MySQL Workbench and phpMyAdmin are connected to the same MySQL instance, any changes made in one program should immediately be visible from the other. You might be restricted if you're connecting as different, non-administrative users who doesn't have access to the same databases.
From each program (MySQL Workbench and phpMyAdmin), issue the STATUS; SQL command and compare the host and port or socket. If they don't match, you would seem to have more than one MySQL installed on your machine.
The fact that you have specifically mentioned installing MySQL server and XAMPP makes this highly likely; XAMPP comes with its own version of MySQL server and you should pick one to access from both client programs to minimize confusion.
I downloaded MySQL, and installed it correctly.
When I started the MySQL workbench it shows me these databases (I don't remember all of them):
sakila
test
world
It is ok, they are work, I can access them with no problems. But later I installed xampp, after that when start MySQL workbench it shows me different databases:
cdcol
phpmyadmin
test
webauth
I can't access the previous databases.
How to switch between them?, or
view them all?
Not sure whether xampp uninstalled your first server, but it is more likely that its installation changed the default MySQL TCP/IP port (3306). Maybe both servers try to run on the same port (which doesn't work) and one failed to start (in this case the first installation).
So what you need is to make each server run on its own port. You can use MySQL Workbench to make the necessary change. However first you need to check if still both servers are installed. Do you have 2 MySQL services running? Switch off one of them and connect with MySQL to the running server. If that works shut this down and run the other service. Connect again with MySQL but this time go to the admin section, config file, and change the port to e.g. 3307. Save and restart the server (all within WB possible). Now you should be able to run both servers at the same time (provided the first one runs still on the default port). Create a second connection and server instance in WB so that you can access one server at 3306 and the other at 3307
If there's only one MySQL service entry then xamp has removed the previous installation and you must install it again if you really need two servers.
I am extremly new with databases. I have only created one, and that was in SQLite on android. I downloaded MySQL Admin for linux (Ubuntu) and downloaded and installed Admin. Now I want to create a database, but I jave know idea what I'm doing. I created a connection via the drop down menu option 'Open Connection Editor', and I keep getting a 'MySQL Error Nr. 2005' error. Do I have to do something command line wise first to set up the database?
Any help is appreciated.

MySQL is different to SQLite in that you need to have some server software running the whole time managing the database. It's that server software that you connect a MySQL client to.
You need to grab yourself a copy of MySQL Server then I'd recommend this tutorial
Good luck!
If you are using Ubuntu you can install MySQL Server easily with this command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
and then I suggest you to download MySQL Workbench, it's a GUI Tool where you can do almost everything with MySQL databases (create,drop,alter, modeling, administer the service).
Then, you can create a connection with mysql workbench or mysql admin (or another client) and do your stuff. If you installed the server in your PC then the parameter are something like this:
host = localhost
user = root
password = (the password you specified in the installation)
